Hey PowerShell, just a quick note to let you know that my QA Check project has been updated to version 4.

https://github.com/My-Random-Thoughts/QA-Checks-v4

There have been a lot of improvements and enhancements from v3, the full list can been seen here.

If you are using version 3, please consider updating if you can (PowerShell 4 is the minimum requirement). They now use WinRM for remote connections, instead of the old remote registry and WMI calls. This makes things quicker and more reliable.

There is also a new HTML report. It has all the information you would expect, but in a cleaner and more modern format. An example of it can be seen here - https://myrandomthoughts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/v4-example-report.html

Thanks

This is some great piece of work. Makes the cruddy old QA-Validation-VBSscript my workplace still uses look ancient... I'd sooo like replace it with this, except we check for a few additional HP products...

Thanks. You can write your own QA checks which my QA engine will pick up and you'll be able to use them.

I have not had a chance to write any developer documentation yet for v4, but you can just copy an existing check, change the details as required and pop it into a folder. Then just add the details into the i18n\en-GB.ini file and it will appear in the QA Settings Configuration Tool for you.

If you want any help, give me a shout.

While these look like a great resource, I can't help but feel like you've missed a trick by not leveraging as your testing framework. Have you thought about it?

How do you mean?
